Disclaimer: Dearly Beloved is just a story of my own imagination. I, in no way, own Kingdom Hearts or the characters within as they are property of Square-Enix (Squenix?) and Disney. I also do not make any money off of this fic (Too bad though) |
Wow. It has been a long, long, long, long time since I published anything. I've just been extremely busy with school. I have finally gained my masters in Psychology and am currently married to a sweet, yaoi obsessed woman who makes her loving husband write her hot, sweaty, sticky slash for some reason. Plus, I bought a house.
Does that mean that the craziness that has prevented me from writing my stories is done? Probably not. But I will try my best to post new chapters.
In fact, it is because of recent reviews that I have returned to writing. So thanks to those who have read this. This is for you guys.
Chapter 10: Apprehension
We have no need for fear. Fear is unnecessary for us because it prevents us from doing what needs to be done.
"Are you saying that you failed in your mission and the box was destroyed, Larxene?" Saix queried, although, by the sound of it, Saix was more furious than questioning.
The thirteen members of Juusan Kikan convened at the throne room.
Larxene didn't look at Saix but she did blow her bangs out of her face in response. There was nothing to say to this.
Saix continued as if he got a response. "That box was vital to Juusan Kikan and you let it be broken. This is unacceptable."
A hand reached out from the highest throne. "That is enough, Saix." Xemnas told him. "What's done is done."
"Of course." Saix was surprised by the nonchalance in Xemnas's voice but deferred to his wishes.
Xemnas looked at Larxene and smiled. "You needn't worry. The box was meant to be destroyed."
Larxene and Saix looked at the Superior in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Saix questioned.
Xemnas looked at Vexen and nodded. Vexen took that as his moment to speak.
"The box was a trap for our stalker. When it is destroyed, it releases a microscopic dust that attaches to the attacker and can be tracked via the Castle's computers."
This news came as a shock to everyone but Xemnas and Vexen.
"Why weren't we informed?" Xaldin asked in a semblance of anger.
Xemnas smirked. "That brings me to my next point. I believe that someone has been feeding information to this 'Knight Errant'."
There were loud whispers among the members about who was a traitor or not. Xemnas glared at his subordinates to see whether or not he could ascertain their intentions.
Xigbar was a ruthless person. It was hard to figure him out at times. But the Freeshooter was one of the founding members. He found it hard to believe the man with the eyepatch would betray him now.
Xaldin was a wild one. He was always off doing his own thing. This man was vicious but not without cause. He has served the Order well though and it didn't seem as if he'd do anything now.
Vexen, the scientist, was too cowed by him to even think about revolting against him. On the pecking order, he wasn't that higher than Demyx. It seemed unfathomable that all of Vexen's actions were a ruse.
Lexaeus was the giant muscle head of the Order. Although he was intelligent, his voluntary vow of silence led others to believe that he was either a mute or an idiot. Both are further from the truth. Xemnas knew that Lexaeus would never betray the Order because he believes in its cause.
Another person who Xemnas didn't have to worry about betraying the Order was Zexion. Of all the people who have joined, Zexion is the most loyal to the Order. His schemes are only for the enemies.
Saix was his right hand. He is the one who made sure that his wishes were done. However, there was something inside of Saix that made him ponder. It wasn't anything that would prevent Saix from fulfilling his duties but still…
Axel was probably the hardest read of all the Order. With his cat-like eyes and distance stare, not even he could discern his thoughts. It seems that he has formed a carnal connection with Roxas but beyond that Xemnas couldn't identify whether Axel was a friend or foe. He would have to watch this one.
Demyx was no threat to him. The Melodious Nocturne was too lazy to even begin planning something against him or the Order. Although, it might be better for the Order if he did join with his enemies…
Luxord is pretty happy with his place. He had no care for anything: the Order's plans, his enemies or even himself. All was a game of chance for him and he loved to play.
Xemnas knew that Marluxia wanted to supplant him as the Superior. It was amusing to say the least. He would bide his time with Marluxia and then when he least expected it…
Xemnas also knew that Larxene was also in league with Marluxia. Her savagery, he knew, would be undoing. Let her think that she is getting away with it.
Roxas, he knew, was intimidated by him. However, even though the boy didn't know it yet, he was the literal key to his entire plans. His ideal world rested on this child. It would be wise to make sure that there is no undue influence on this child. Axel had already made a move to start a relationship, if you can call what that two Nobodies had a relationship, and, though it has not stopped Roxas from completing his missions, a little caution goes a long way.
"But do not worry. The traitor will reveal themselves when they slip up eventually. For now, I will continue as if there wasn't one."
"Is that wise, Lord Xemnas?" Saix asked.
"What can this Knight Errant do against my plans?" He responded. "Besides, you will be the one to hunt down this man. Destroy him."
"So be it."
"As for the rest of you." He addressed the Order. "You must create chaos throughout the worlds so that Kingdom Hearts may be born. You have your orders."
He outstretched his hand. "Go!"
The others disappeared using the Corridors of Darkness.
Leon was sitting in a chair in the Disney Castle, deep in thought. There was something on his mind.
Suddenly, a portal was opened next to him. From out of this portal, a figure dressed in a black trench coat walked out from it. Even without looking at the person, he knew exactly who it was.
"I almost had forgotten about you, Caserta." Leon smirked.
"I'm hurt, Squall." Caserta laughed. "I would have thought that you of all people would remember me. Although, it has been more than two years…"
"I was thrown when you called yourself the 'Knight Errant', Caserta. Also, please call me Leon." The ginger haired man told him.
Caserta, the Knight Errant, huffed. "You can't wallow in sadness forever, Sq-Leon." Caserta corrected himself. "It will fester and consume you."
"You're one to talk."
Caserta changed the subject. "How are the people of Destiny Islands?"
Leon's eyes narrowed in sadness. "Many have already died, mostly adults. Some of the children are in comas. It's a magical coma and none of our people know how to break it."
Caserta looked away from Leon. "If I had known what they were planning, I would have been there sooner."
Leon looked at the cloaked man. "It's not like you to get hung up on the things you can't change.
Caserta snorted. "You know me too well."
Leon adjusted in his seat. "Have you learned anything new on Juusan Kikan?" The gunblader changed the subject.
"I have much to discuss with you but now isn't the time. Besides, I want Sora and the others to hear this as well."
"Fair enough, Caserta."
The Knight Errant laughed. "Speaking of those kids, I've been testing them to see where they are on, power-wise."
"What do you think of them?" Leon asked. "Sora is probably our greatest ally against the Heartless with his Keyblade. Plus he is aligned with Light."
"Sora's greatest asset isn't his Keyblade or his alignment with the Light. It is a heart with a strong Will. That Will is enough to see him through anything. The other two have some hang-ups but it isn't anything that cannot be overcome."
Leon didn't respond to that. His mind was elsewhere.
"Still thinking about Hollow Bastion?" Caserta asked.
"Yeah."
After Sora had defeated Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Leon and his crew were set to retake Hollow Bastion. However, they were repelled by an unknown force. This force was able to repel the power of the Princess of Hearts and the powers of Darkness that Maleficent had summoned at once. Leon and the others didn't know it at the time, but this power was Juusan Kikan.
It wasn't long until Juusan Kikan had overtaken Hollow Bastion and made it one of their bases. Their reason was simple. Ansem the Wise, the king who had ruled that world at one time, had a wealth of knowledge concerning the Heartless and the nature of the universe. Strategically, it also served as a base that Juusan Kikan could use to one day conquer Disney Castle. However, Disney Castle was better protected than most, thanks to the Cornerstone of Light, effectively preventing anyone from using the Corridors of Darkness.
"All of the information on that supercomputer could be used to destroy Disney Castle." Leon reminded him. "Our focus should be on reclaiming Hollow Bastion."
"If you go in now, your forces will be overwhelmed by the Heartless and Nobody there." The Knight Errant told him bluntly. "It is best that you wait for those three. And I have a feeling that those children that survived the attack on Destiny Island will be instrumental in this war."
Leon was skeptical but said nothing.
"In the meantime, Leon, I'll check the Library of Ivalice to see if there isn't anything that can be done about those children's coma."
With that, Caserta, the Knight Errant, opened a portal with his hand.
Leon got up from his seat to grab Caserta before he left. "If you should see Sora and the others before I do, can you test them one last time? I want you to become their teacher when they arrive to this castle."
The cloaked man nodded and walked through the portal, leaving Leon alone once more.
"That guy…" Leon shook his head. "It's always difficult to know what he is thinking."
The sun began its daily course through the sky as morning arrived on Destiny Islands. In its wake, it shines on three figures. They are naked as the day they were born, sleeping sprawled across the beach. The ocean waves could be heard in the background, gently lapping the sand. It was quiet and serene. This place could be called paradise.
Weary eyes feel the light from the sun shining down on them and they blink to adjust their pupils to its onslaught.
Riku was the first to get up. His body was completely spent after the events of last night. It was probably the defining moment of his young life. He had never thought that this day would come and, after his descent into darkness, he had no reason to believe that it would. However, something happened that night. That act of love touched his heart. That one beautiful night felt like the weight of the world was lifted from his shoulder for once. It was nice to think about something other than the sins that he had committed.
He looked at Sora and Kairi in their blissful, naked sleep.
Sora, with his boyish good looks, was wrinkling his nose at the light that was bombarding his face. He looked like he wanted to sleep for a bit longer. Riku thought it was cute and smiled, holding back a chuckle so that the two can sleep.
Kairi, with her womanly charms, was sleeping peacefully in the ensuing brightness. She wasn't as shy as she was last night. Her breasts were exposed and she wasn't covering them like she tried to do last night.
Riku stretched his limbs and felt a satisfying pop when he did. He picked himself up from the sandy beach. Noticing his state of undress for the first time, he went to retrieve his boxer shorts that he had discarded when the escapade began and walked towards the waterfall.
Caserta, the Knight Errant, was walking within the portal that he had created when he felt a presence behind him. Quickly, he turned around and summoned his Keyblade. When he saw the form of the presence that he had felt, he chuckled. It was a member of Juusan Kikan. The hood obscured his face. From the looks of his broad shoulders, Caserta concluded that it must be a man and that he was quite muscular.
"I have to say that I am impressed that Juusan Kikan was able to follow me here." He clucked his tongue.
"There is no place that you can hide from us." The man in the cloak responded.
Caserta shook his head. "You have me at a disadvantage. I must know who you are. It's only fair."
The cloaked man shook his head. "I am not interested in what is fair or right. I am interested in getting the job done for Lord Xemnas." With a wave of his hands, he summoned two Berserker Nobodies.
"Berserker Nobodies, huh?" Caserta said in a whimsical tone. "You must be Number VII, Saix, the Moon's Dancing Demon."
Saix removed his hood to reveal his visage. Although the eyes betrayed nothing, Caserta knew that Number VII was out for blood.
"I have to know. How did you find me within this portal?"
"Do you expect me to answer that?" Saix spat.
Caserta shrugged his shoulders. "Not really. But I kind of hoped that you would."
"I have been sent on orders to eliminate you." Saix told him, ignoring the last response.
"I see. But I must tell you that you aren't going to be able to harm me in this place."
Saix's eyes narrowed. "Care to test that theory?"
Caserta put his fingers to his forehead in annoyance. "I should tell you that this place where we are isn't the Corridors of Darkness. This is the Dimensional Cleft, a place that can only be utilized effectively by the Knight Errant and those who are protected by his power."
Saix looked around and found no darkness in this place. He didn't notice up until now that he wasn't in the Corridors of Darkness. All he remembered was following the signal that was provided him by Vexen on orders of Lord Xemnas. Soon, he found him and was ready to pounce had the man not sensed the blue haired man's presence.
"In fact, anyone who tries to use violence in this place is immediately expelled." Caserta continued. "So, your best bet is to leave this place."
"If that is so, why did you summon your Keyblade?" Saix asked.
"Force of habit."
Saix didn't believe a word that the man in front of him said but was cautious nonetheless. He sent the Berserkers to attack the Knight Errant. However, before they could even get close, the two Berserkers were violently ripped apart.
"Didn't I tell you?" Caserta laughed. "You aren't going to get close when you are in this place. Violence is strictly prohibited in this place to keep the fabric of this dimension intact."
Saix closed his eyes in acceptance. "So be it, Knight Errant. But you should beware. When you leave this place, I will destroy you." With that, the blue haired man waved his hand and opened a Corridor of Darkness to return back to headquarters."
Caserta released the Keyblade in his hand. "Damn. That he was able to find me even here. There must have been something that happened during that fight on Destiny Islands that allowed him to track me." He looked at his trench coat. "Must be something on the cloak…
Caserta sighed. "Looks like I'm not going to be able to check in on those three at this point. How unfortunate." Caserta gave up musing on these events and continued on his way.
Riku was relaxing under the shade of the papou fruit tree when he felt two comforting presences. He had no need to turn around because he knew who those two people were. "Good morning, Sora, Kairi!" He smiled.
Sora and Kairi sat on opposite ends of Riku and enjoyed the tranquility that the island had to offer.
No one said a thing, each of them reflecting on the event that happened last night. Try as they might, not one of them could see a single thing that they did wrong. It was like nature herself had approved of such a consummation.
"So what happens now?" Sora asked. There was a slight hesitancy in his voice, as if he was afraid that this was a one time thing.
Riku sighed. He figured that one of them would have a feeling like this was a one night stand. However, that was far from the truth. Riku loved them and wanted to be with them and those two with him. "What do you want to have happen?" Riku asked.
"Was last night a one time deal?" Kairi asked, giving voice to the niggling fears that they all had.
Riku closed his eyes. As much as he wanted to have Sora and Kairi, he wasn't comfortable forcing them to do what they didn't want to do. So he was going to let them decide for themselves. "What do you two want?"
Sora shot up from his seated position and yelled. "I don't want this to end. I want more. I love you two. I spent the better part of a year searching for you guys and now that I found you, I don't want to lose you."
Sora's outburst caused Riku's eyes to water. This was exactly what he wanted. He looked at Kairi and saw her nodding. "That's what I want, too." Kairi smiled.
Riku closed his eyes and smiled so wide, his teeth were visible. He laughed with mirth.
Sora furrowed his brow. "What's with the laughing?"
"You guys have no idea how long I waited to hear those words." The silver haired teen smiled. "It makes me happy."
Sora and Kairi hugged Riku from each side. There was something that happened last night that would changes those three forever. And none of them would change it for anything.
Leon walked from the library of Disney Castle towards the throne room. Caserta's words were echoing in his mind. He was right. As things stood now, they weren't ready to take back Hollow Bastion. The gunblader growled. That wasn't what he wanted to hear. But Caserta was always honest with him, almost brutally so.
The giant doors of the throne room were always intimidating to people. However, Leon was a seasoned veteran of the Sorceress War. Not much frightened him… well Aerith's cooking, but not much else.
Leon found the knob to the throne room door and opened the much smaller door so that he could enter the room.
Before his eyes, he saw King Mickey Mouse and Queen Minnie Mouse discussing something with the Count Wizard Donald Duck and the Captain of the Royal Guard Goofy. Leon cleared his throat. The four turned their attention to Leon.
"Ahh, Leon." Mickey nodded. "How may I be of assistance?"
"I just got a message from Caserta." Leon told them.
Mickey's eyebrows furrowed. "Was he the source of the magic disturbance that happened some time ago?"
"Yes, your majesty."
"I see. What did he tell you?"
"He's been investigating Juusan Kikan and he'll be informing us when he returns."
Mickey looked at Leon. He noticed that there was something that he wasn't saying. "Is there anything else?"
Leon sighed. So the king noticed. "He was saying that we don't have the power to take back Hollow Bastion."
"Do not despair, Leon." Queen Minnie spoke up. "We may not have the power to recapture Hollow Bastion now. But I promise that we will do everything in our power to do it."
Leon bowed his head in respect. With that, he turned around and left the throne room.
"What's wrong with Leon, your majesty?" Goofy asked.
Mickey closed his eyes somberly. "Leon is just frustrated. He, more than anyone, feels responsible for the destruction of Hollow Bastion."
"Everyone deals with loss in different ways, Goofy." Minnie continued. "Leon just wants to reclaim what was taken from him."
"What's that, my Lady?" Donald asked.
"His pride."
"But to hear from Caserta is a glad tiding indeed." Mickey trumpeted. "We haven't heard a word from him in over two years. I am glad to hear that he is okay."
Donald was a little confused. "Who is Caserta, your Majesty?"
"Caserta is a Keyblade Master. He showed up several years ago to tell me of the disappearance of some stars. He's very powerful, probably more than me."
"Why has he been gone this long?" Goofy asked
"I remember the words that he said to me. 'You are a good king, but I must follow the orders given to me by the one I serve.' And then, he left. He went to investigate something but never said what it was."
"You can always ask him when he comes back, dear." Minnie told him.
"You're right." Mickey smiled. He turned to Donald and Goofy. "Donald, Goofy, there is something that I need you to do.
Night has fallen on Destiny Islands. After a long day of training, swimming and being in each other's company, Kairi, Riku and Sora were winding down to go to sleep when Kairi felt something.
It was as if someone was calling her heart.
Riku noticed something was wrong. "What's the matter, Kairi?"
She didn't answer. Instead, a Pulse started to reverberate from her. Sora and Riku could hear a loud ba-dump ba-dump from her body.
"What's going on, Kairi?" Sora asked.
In an instant, a bright flash engulfed the three. When they opened their eyes (which they didn't realize that they closed) they found themselves in a white void. They looked around for something familiar and couldn't find anything.
"Where are we?" Kairi asked.
To answer that question, six lights appeared around her. Sora and Riku tried to summon their respective Keyblades but found that they couldn't.
"Do not be afraid." One of the lights spoke. "We are on your side."
The lights took form. They became the Princesses of Heart: Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine and Alice. They were using Kairi as a conduit and as a voice.
"We have been waiting for you." Aurora told them. "Oh Hero of Light and Hero of Dark, please listen to our pleas."
Sora and Riku were enraptured by the scene. They weakly nodded and gave the Princesses their full attention.
"Hero of Light" Cinderella spoke. "You have done well of halting the deluge of Heartless by sealing the door. However, a new threat is rising."
"Juusan Kikan." Sora provided.
"You are correct." Snow White told him. "They without hearts are a great threat to the peace that you are enjoying. However, there is another power rising, a force quite ancient and powerful."
"The Knight Errant." Riku spat.
"No. It isn't him." Belle told the silver-haired teen. "Although we have a vague awareness of his presence, he is not the power that we are now sensing. This power that we sense has existed long before our time and probably long before that."
"What is it?" Kairi asked.
"We don't know" Jasmine said with great reluctance "but this power is responsible for many of the events that have happened so far and many of the events that are yet to come. There is much we don't know about this person's motives."
"Like what?" Sora asked.
"Oh, Princess Kairi" Alice asked. "Do you believe that you arriving on this island was a coincidence? This was influenced by the woman who sees and knows all. Her power is quite frightening. "
"What else?" Riku asked. He was mad at the idea of things was being manipulated. After his time with Maleficent and then with Ansem, he hated that his actions were somehow part of a larger scheme that he couldn't see.
"The reason you have your respective Keyblades are because of that woman." Aurora told them. "There are no coincidences in this world, only inevitability."
Sora furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't really understand all of this. "Well, I don't really get it but I'll continue to fight for what I believe in and that's that."
The finality of how Sora spoke sparked something in Riku. There was no hesitation in his voice, just determination. Such confidence… It made him a bit jealous. He wished to have that assuredness with himself. With everything that he has gone through in the past year, it made him cynical about himself.
"That kind of attitude will get you through your hardships." Cinderella smiled. "Now go. They are waiting for you."
Just as quickly the white void appeared, it disappeared just as fast. The three found themselves back at Destiny Islands.
Sora was a bit confused. "Who's waiting for us?"
His own question was answer when he heard the roar of a powerful engine. The three turned around to see the Gummiship landing on the island.
Sora's mouth became a big smile. "It's the Gummiship."
When the ship landed, two familiar faces exited the ship. Sora immediately ran to them. "Donald, Goofy!" He shouted with happiness. He pounced on them and gave each a big hug.
"Come on, Sora." Goofy told him. "His majesty wants you three to come back to the castle."
Sora motioned for Riku and Kairi to join him, which they did.
"We have many things we have to discuss." Donald told the three. "But right now, just get on."
Riku shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing left on this island anyways. The people were gone. The only ones left were them and if Kairi and Sora were going to Disney Castle, he would go too. Besides, he wanted to talk with the king about the upcoming events.
Kairi wanted to go because she had never seen Disney Castle. The thought of seeing something foreign was exciting.
Sora just wanted to be with Donald and Goofy again. It would be like the year he spent traveling across the worlds and saving everyone. Not that they could replace Riku and Kairi but it was always nice to travel with friends.
"Well, don't just stand there," Jiminy Cricket squeaked from Donald's magician's hat. "Let's get going."
The three residents of Destiny Island boarded the Gummiship, leaving their home behind.
